Carol Peacock, Natalia Cole and Asia gave a great open house at Peacock Gallery. Carol Peacock presented new large scale oil paintings that went from floor to ceiling, and recent works including a painting inspired by Opal Fly in dreamy warm tones. The theme show this year at Zark's was, are you ready?, "The Brooch". Thats what you and I might call a pin, and the artists had fun with it. The people's choice is the winner at Zarks, and this year it was David Pettit. Just the right size and depth for a brooch, it was a real wasp's nest with the back part somehow shaved flat and a pin attached. Little glass beads, crystals, silver charms, semi-precious stones and found materials were in some of the cone openings. The Arkansas Arts Council honored Eurekan woodworker Doug Stowe as the Arkansas Living Treasure of 2009 Sunday, May 17 at the Crescent Hotel Conservatory. He presented his student's work along with his own. "Doug loves to teach," said Ruth Morrison, who attended the Sunday show. Of the student work, Ruth said, "They were very nice. It added much to the show, as well as the beautiful boxes Doug Stowe creates." links to other May events:

Janet Goodyear at Mud Street EUREKA SPRINGS, AR A fine example of gouache painting is "Boat on a Pond" by Janet Goodyear. Gouache is an opaque watercolor that works best when the tints and shades of color are placed side by side rather than blended. Lavender and gray tree trunks and a singular bright blue cast shadow in the boat illustrate the elegance of the one-at-a-time use of gouache. The hues of the pond beyond are blended. This simply titled painting of a Louisiana landscape has a pleasing effect...
Mary Springer Leading Lady of Eureka Springs Art EUREKA SPRINGS, AR I wish I had this pewter bowl Mary Springer hammered into creation this past session at Eureka Springs School of the Arts. The flourishes that serve as the four legs are springy as frogs legs and as drapey as a lace collar. A delicate finish and sculptural soundness bring a power to this piece. It excites a love of pewter that whispers of a midieval vessel possessed by kings and queens...

The deep blue ground and yellow stars were as enchanting as the lady in question, a finely festooned shrimp-size chimp.

Zeek stayed within the rules and kept his shrine to the size of the matchbox...

A Few Abstract Paintings by John Robert Willer EUREKA SPRINGS, AR John Robert Willer had an open house at WilloSpring this past Dec. 1-2. I hope you were lucky enough to catch it.
